Austin Rivers, PG, Houston Rockets

FanDuel Price: $4,500
Projected FanDuel Points: 15.5
Projected FanDuel Value: 3.45

Austin Rivers may not be scoring 40-plus points per night like his basketball god teammate James Harden, but he's certainly getting all of the opportunity to do so.

With both Chris Paul and Eric Gordon out, Rivers has seen at least 40 minutes of run in each of the past three games. He's played at least 31 minutes in each of his six games with the Houston Rockets and scored in double-figures in each contest.

While he doesn't always offer a lot in the way of peripheral stats, he's still been able to top 20 FanDuel points in four of his past five games. We have him projected to score 0.63 FanDuel points per minute tonight. With Gordon out again, he could easily see 40 minutes once again. If he does, he'd end up around 25.4 FanDuel points at our projected rate of production.
